Why are my gutters leaking?

A common problem that I come across while doing gutter cleaning in Sydney is leaking gutters. Whether it be a loose corner fitting, corroded gutters or damaged down pipe connections, leaking gutters can create a whole range of problems from moisture related issues in the home, to slimy, slippery paths and walkways.

So what can you do about the leaks? Well first of all I would suggest removing all of the leaf debris and soil from your guttering system and valley flashings. It is important to remove all of the debris because when it comes to the next stage 'flushing your gutters', you don't want to be pushing muck into your downpipes and potentially block them up.

So after the guttering is cleaned, a garden hose can be used to flush water through the system. Look out for water not flowing down the spouts, this could be a blocked pipe. Inspect corners and gutter lengths for drips. Repair or unblock as necessary.

As always we only suggest this type of work to suitably qualified persons. If you're not experienced and certified to work at heights, don't risk it.

The Spring is near!

Have you consider to clean your house after a cold winter so it can be ready for the spring and summer time?

The most common usage of spring cleaning refers to the yearly act of cleaning a house from top to bottom which would take place in the first warm days of the year typically in spring, hence the name. However it has also come to be synonymous with any kind of heavy duty cleaning or organizing enterprise.

A Soft wash or a high pressure cleaning is the ultimate spring cleaning process for your property.
